The Archers: Chris and Alice Return From Vegas

Chris and Alice Return From Vegas

BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, Chris and Alice Return From Vegas

We delve into The Archers’ archive to revisit Chris and Alice's elopement.

We delve into The Archers’ archive and Alice and Chris return from a holiday in Vegas with a surprise for their parents.

Three weeks of themed programmes from the last two decades reliving key moments from the characters’ lives and the events that make Ambridge unforgettable. This episode forms part of the first week looking at how four different couples tied the knot and how one much loved character left the series.

Alice started dating Neil and Susan’s Carter’s son Christopher in 2008. Jennifer wasn’t pleased at her daughter dallying with a pigman’s son but reassured herself that Alice’s imminent departure to Southampton University would put an end to it.  But she was wrong. The couple worked hard to maintain the long-distance relationship – despite occasional temptations and Jennifer’s ham-fisted attempts to pair Alice off with uber-posh Sebastian ‘Basti’ Streatfield.

Alice pooh-poohed Chris’s worries that he was too lowly for her.  She loved him – and he returned the sentiment. They headed off for a holiday to America and when they returned it was to announce that they had got married in Vegas.
